	Chris nervously paced in the Sherman Center, periodically glancing over towards a large computer monitor that showed a computer model of the factory, along with dots representing his teammates.  Once everyone was in position, Chris gave the signal for team one to move forwards.

	[color=C0C0C0]“Alright, [b]Team One[/b], you are clear to go in.  Team Two, wait for my mark to advance.”[/color]

	After he spoke, Chris saw several of the dots suddenly approach what appeared to have been an abandoned factory, although they all knew that Doctor Diplodoc and his associates were definitely residents there.  They surely were going to run into someone soon.  Weren’t they?

	Eerily enough, for the few couple minutes, Team One traversed the facility without running into any resistance.  Although there was in his head a sliver of hope that they would march their way uncontested to Doctor Diplodoc himself, Chris knew that this was not going be that easy.  However, a quick blip on the screen that signaled that a hostile was nearby proved that this was not going to be a cakewalk.

	[color=C0C0C0]“Guys,”[/color]  Chris talked into the com systems, [color=C0C0C0]“Head up.  There might be some resistance nearby.”[/color]

	After Chris had warned Team One, which included War-Pulse, Thunderbolt, White Witch, Radiance, Lyger, and Bast, that someone might be close, someone began to materialize before them, or rather she was removing her own invisibility.  A woman, clad in a silver dress, appeared before the heroes.

	“I’m surprised it took you all this long to discover our little hideaway.  But I guess that what happens when you try to jam several different cogs and gears into a clock and expect it to work.”  The woman taunted the heroes.  However, before she continued, the Silver Sorceress mumbled a few words under her breath, causing her hands to begin glowing white.  As she raised her arms above her head, the sorceress’ magic began to reveal her previously hidden allies.  They stood all around the six heroes, surround them.

	Once Effigy appeared, he immediately shifted his appearance.  The process of his transformation, although painless, would have made any onlooker feel sick to his stomach.  Bones cracked, muscles ripped, and skin rearranged itself in order to take on his new form.  “Alright,” he finally said in War-Pulse’s voice, “it’s time for round two with that wannabe of mine”.

	“Why don’t you do your thing, sis.”  The Silver Sorceress mentioned to a figure that stood next to her.  This young girl, whom the heroes had not known about from their debriefing session at the Sherman Center, wore a dark green cloak that had a hood that concealed her face.  However, when she pulled the hood down, the young girl revealed that her skin had a green tint, as if her skin was filled with chlorophyll, and her hair appeared to be made out of foliage.

	Silver Sorceress’ sister pressed her hand against the ground.  Her fingers buried their way through the linoleum floor as if they were like tree roots. Then, several small Venus flytraps grew around the six heroes, creating a perimeter around them.  While in their current state, they were not a threat to the heroes, but once the Silver Sorceress placed an enchantment upon them in order to make them grow to gigantic proportions, the carnivorous plants began snapping their mouths at their ‘prey’ as slime dripped down from their mouths.

	If that was not enough, a web line attached itself to Bast’s back.  Something, or rather someone, on the ceiled yanked the young metahuman up off the floor and suspended her in the air.  The Black Widow had ensnared the catgirl in her web.

	“I’m wishing I was on Team Two right about now” Sammy thought as she struggled to free herself from her assailant.

	Now that Team One had located and engaged Doctor Diplodoc’s minions, Team Two received the signal from Chris to proceed.  Everything was going smoothly at first: there was no resistance, the path was almost exactly as Kelly had remembered when she had stayed her for a short time.  It almost felt too easy.

	Their first obstacle appeared to have been a locked door.  However, with a cast including three metahumans with superhuman strength, breaking a locked door would have been a piece of cake.  But once they ripped the door off its hinges, the heroes discovered that the doorway had been sealed with a thick layer of concrete.  Even this would not have been too much of a problem, but two metal doors slammed down from the ceiling, blocking both the cement-sealed doorway and the entrance that they had used to enter into this room.

	But the situation began to be dire.  Both of the walls that had the doors attached to them slowly inched towards one another.  At the same time, the ceiling also started to descend towards the floor.  Unless the heroes acted quick on their feet, the room would crush any of them who could not resist the pressure of the collapsing room and leave those who remained to watch their compatriots suffer.

	[color=khaki]“I kind of now wish I was on Team One.”[/color]  Kelly mumbled under her breath.
